The introduction of spot bitcoin ETFs earlier in the year has already significantly impacted the demand for bitcoin (BTC), contributing to its all-time high in March.
According to Bloomberg Intelligence analyst, James Seyffart, it is anticipated that spot Ether ETFs might attract approximately 20% to 25% of the investment flows that spot bitcoin ETFs experienced during their initial months.
Additionally, Bitwise’s Chief Investment Officer, Matt Hougan, has suggested that these new Ether ETFs could potentially push Ether prices to exceed $5,000. Hougan has forecasted that the new ETFs might attract up to $15 billion in new investments over the next 18 months.
